Organizing tasks in pomodoros (which is really close to your method), is a great way to do things.

Change the full-rescan interval to monthly, or yearly even, problem solved.

You can set it to do full scans however often you like, even monthly.

Spain and France especially seem to be doing a good job building high speed rail:

Actually planning for the future if something the US can't even fathom doing. Remember this fearmongering article from the daily mail about a "ghost" subway station in Chongqing?

Here it is now:

Western countries look at China building a city where no people are, and project waste, when in reality its just the PRC properly planning and building cities, anticipating housing and infrastructure, before they need them.

Meanwhile the US doesn't do anything beforehand and cities become a sprawling suburb, car-centered wasteland. They let private capital seeking short-term profits build their cities, and turn the country into a wal-mart parking lot.

You should let them know, they might need your expertise.

Yes, this is a map of what was completed in 2018. China isn't the US, they don't give billions of dollars of public funds to grifters like Elon Musk, they actually build things.

As an example, China used more concrete for building projects from the years 2011-2013, than the US used in the entire 20th century.

This is completely false. If you're uninsured, a visit is less than ~5 USD per doctors visit, and about ~20 USD for a specialist visit.. If you're insured, as 95% of the population in China is, then visits are free. It also has a very low cost per capita, since public health is socialized, not privatized.

Primary school is completely free, and college has tuition fees just like any other country.

Got any more of "I heard it from a friend?", that people can upvote to affirm their racist biases?

Wrong, and it's clear you read none of the links above. Especially this one: https://archive.ph/DwD1n

Okay so basic western supremacy, gotcha.

They're on the fediverse to Correct The Record ^TM^

 
 

Post here if you're able to help mod, we'd greatly appreciate it.

Ideally your account should be on lemmy.ml, and also have a history of posting here.

What is Lemmy?

Lemmy is a self-hosted social link aggregation and discussion platform. It is completely free and open, and not controlled by any company. This means that there is no advertising, tracking, or secret algorithms. Content is organized into communities, so it is easy to subscribe to topics that you are interested in, and ignore others. Voting is used to bring the most interesting items to the top.

Major Changes

  • Outgoing federation bug fixes.
  • Lemmy can now receive reports sent from Mastodon and Kbin.
  • Added the ability for admins to view votes, to prevent downvote trolling. Demo. #4088
  • Various bug fixes and minor enhancements.

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

Thanks to everyone

We'd like to thank our many contributors and users of Lemmy for coding, translating, testing, and helping find and fix bugs. We're glad many people find it useful and enjoyable enough to contribute.

Support development

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. A recurring donation is the best way to ensure that open-source software like Lemmy can stay independent and alive.

We'd like to add some more CI runners for lemmy jobs, cause we have very few right now. If anyone has any spare builder machines, pm me. It'd be greatly appreciated.

 

Sometime early this morning, our database started having issues, most likely due to a disk corruption issue.

Unfortunately the postgres database was unrecoverable, and we had to restore from a nightly backup, so a few hours of posts and comments will be missing.

Apologies again for the downtime, and for the disruption.

Major Changes

0.19.0 has a critical bug where sending outgoing activities can stop working. The bug is fixed in this version. It also fixes the "hide read posts" user setting, fixes a problem with invalid comment paths, and another fix for private message reports.

Upgrade instructions

Follow the upgrade instructions for ansible or docker. The upgrade should take less than 30 minutes.

If you need help with the upgrade, you can ask in our support forum or on the Matrix Chat.

We (@dessalines and @nutomic) have been working full-time on Lemmy for over three years. This is largely thanks to support from NLnet foundation, as well as donations from individual users.

This month we are running a funding drive with the goal of increasing recurring donations from currently €4.000 to at least €12.000. With this amount @dessalines and @nutomic can each receive a yearly salary of €50.000 which is in line with median developer salaries. It will also allow one additional developer to work fulltime on Lemmy and speed up development.

Read more details in the funding drive announcement.
